Title: Method of activating a catalyst, reactor, and method of obtaining hydrocarbons in the fischer-tropsch process
Inventor: MIKAHIL NIKOLAEVICH MIKHAJLOV
IPC: B01J38/10
Filed: 2017-11-02
Abstract: The invention relates to Fischer-Tropsch synthesis in its compact form. A compact reactor comprises a housing having rectangular reaction channels accommodated therein and filled with a cobalt catalyst, nozzles for injecting synthesis gas in an amount determined by the ratio of the number of channels to the number of synthesis gas injection nozzles, and a nozzle for injecting and withdrawing a heat-transfer agent, on which nozzle a pressure regulator and an assembly for the withdrawal of synthetic hydrocarbons is arranged. The cobalt catalyst is activated by passing oxygen through the same. Synthetic hydrocarbons are obtained when synthesis gas is passed through the reaction channels of the reactor, which are filled with activated cobalt catalyst. Every 300-500 hours, the flow rate of the synthesis gas is increased, and then there is a return to the initial process conditions. This allows high-molecular hydrocarbon output per unit mass of the reactor to be achieved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of radiation therapy and methods, software and systems for adaptive radiotherapy. An adaptive radiotherapy treatment method comprises receiving sequential measurement data relating to the treatment and captured at different time points, e.g. from real-time scanning or other sequential image data sets, mapping measurement data to a representation of a treatment geometry at the time points, using the representation in a dynamical model describing how variables in the representation evolve over time, e.g. a linear Gaussian state space model trained by machine learning, in order to estimate positions over time of the treatment geometry, and using the estimated positions to determine a radiation treatment action to be executed at a defined time point. Determining the treatment action may involve using an optimal control strategy to select or modify a treatment plan based on deviations between planned or desired and predicted or calculated dose levels and/or locations.
